5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly listenable and charming, 5 Jan 2004
By David B "Piano David" (GOUROCK, Renfrewshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
Another triumph for Naxos, in their American Classics series. The music here is accessible and very enjoyable. It isn't often these days that this reviewer finds tears welling up at a new musical discovery, but it's happened with An American Abroad. Super playing by orchestra throughout, and by Colin Currie in percussion concerto. (I'm not in general a great fan of percussion, but thoroughly enjoy this piece).
The great thing about Naxos pricing is that you can afford to take a risk with music you don't know. How glad I am that I did with this.
